The Beauty of Disneyland

[DVacationer]

I just want to highlight how BEAUTIFUL Disneyland is. This goes beyond the typical rides and shows. I’m talking about the flowers, greenery, California weather, the gold and pink hues in the sky as the sun gets closer to setting. Experiencing that on the outdoor attractions like Casey JR, Matterhorn, Big Thunder, Mark Twain Riverboat, and the Disneyland Railroad. The twinkling lights in the trees at night, New Orleans square with live Jambalaya Jazz. It feels like a mini flower and garden festival right now. It’s just beautiful.

Remember to slow down and look around you when you visit. That is the true Disneyland.

Without a doubt. Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Tokyo DisneySea are the most stunning of parks. Landscaping is carefully considered and it's appreciated. Puts poor old Magic Kingdom to shame.

I often just like to sit and soak in the atmosphere doing basically nothing

Is Pixie Hollow back open?

100% agreed! Thank you for the lovely pictures!

Agree. I take A LOT of pictures when I go.

Thank you for sharing your pictures... so beautiful. Our last trip was the first of many when I really just spent time looking around at everything instead of running from attraction to attraction.

It is beautiful year round. They do an amazing job with the landscaping here. And nothing beats so cal weather.

100% the landscaping is such an underrated part of the park experience.

Lovely photos. One of my favorite aspects of DLR and details so many people miss. For example, next time you visit the Cozy Cones take a look at the trees/shrubs planted between the cones if they are in bloom. The flowers resemble orange traffic cones.

They used to have a tour focused on the landscaping, plants and how they keep everything looking so beautiful year round. My ILs went on it and said it was fascinating and really well done. I think they stopped doing it a few years before COVID happened but maybe it will come back some day (if they ever bring non-VIP tours back...)

Completely agree. Easy to get caught up in admiring the rides and attractions that too often we forget to take a step back and appreciate the little things that tend to take a back seat to everything else. "Little things" that would be front row center anywhere else besides DLR.

Good post!

The jacaranda trees are always in bloom when I go to Disneyland. They are lovely beyond description, and I always think that surely the jacaranda is the tree of Heaven.
